Dusty

I am having the same thoughts about Dusty, as he is about 10 weeks old now he has become more confident in his footing and now tries to crawl up to my shoulder (although he cant really sit up on my shoulder by himself yet as he is still a bit unstable). I have so far been gentle taking him off and bringing him to my chest again. My Jardine parrot would always be on my shoulder, although he would give me a "manipulation" bite if I tried to take him off and he was still having fun with me. I dont think it was a sign of dominance at all, just a way to try and get his way.

Hi there! thank you so much. I managed to upload a couple of pics I took of him, but he already looks different after only a week.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I will be sure to upload new photos periodically. :-) Lovely to meet you all

Yes ive become quite aware of how absolutely young he is and that most vets would be appalled at him being sold at such a young age, I know this because I called every avian vet within a 200km radius! The horror stories ive read and heard about are enough to make you cry. He is still quarantined, and every precaution that I know is being taken.. but i know you can never be too careful. ----- thanks judygram for the welcom, I will be sure to ask for advice and ask any questions i may have

HI there!! Just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself and my 9 week old CAG Dusty. The only parrots Ive ever owned where already adults and adopted from owners that did not want them anymore...so to have an actual baby grey is a new experience for me. I joined this forum to get advice that i cant find in books and just to read about fun stories of other happy parrots and their owners. nice to meet you all Katy and Dusty
